This report investigates the conventional female silhouette through common assumptions of the body. Moreover, different perspectives of the body and the dressed body is analysed and considere. Conventional pattern construction is based upon these assumptions of the female body. To expand the perspective, an experimental approach is implemented to display new expressions of the female silhouette and define and explore these characteristics through form. The work is conducted by rethinking the conventional female silhouette in terms of volume and composition extracted from traditional cuts in womenswear. Furthermore, to challenge expectations on female silhouette using seams and darts to create concave and convex volumes, to correspond with bodily shapes which then are rearranged in a non traditional composition.
